I'm allergic to plasters. If I cut myself I use a cotton pad and old fashion bandages!

I'm really short, I'm only 4'11.

My boyfriend is 6ft tall, so I have to go on tip toes to kiss him lol. I also work as part of a team where I'm the only female, and the lads on the team are all quite tall.. it looks quite funny in presentations

I have had brain surgery three times. The surgeon gave me a DVD of them operating on me, as well. I think the reasoning was in case I went on holiday and dropped dead (well not dead, but got ill) the surgeons there would be able to carry out the operation. The DVD itself is stored inside a copy of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. I have watched it, through my fingers, it's grim. Lots of drilling. Surprised I have a brain left, haha!

Hope no one fancies a game of Sonic Vs Luigi fencing and ends up watching brain surgery! That’s so cool though

english, croatian, italian, french and spanish

my tip is probably useless to you as i'm assuming you're over 5 years old but the most important thing in my opinion is to start learning as early as possible. so it's on the parents. i started with english when i was 4 so i really don't remember not speaking english. i also went to a language high school where we were taught latin (which i'm not counting of course ) and this really connected italian, french and spanish for me.

other than that, it's important to just let go and not be afraid or embarrassed to actually use the language. don't worry about grammar - try to use the vocabulary you have and the grammar will come with time. immerse yourself into the language: watch movies and tv shows either in this language or with subtitles in this language, listen to their music, podcasts, even if you don't understand, let it get into your ear!

and to stay on topic - my next task is german!

I’ve been learning German through lockdown - I love it!

I recorded the Niknaks competition VoiceOver once - that was exciting

When I was 20, I witnessed two people in cars shooting at each other by a petrol station (idiots). My friend and I were about 10 metres away and ended up hiding behind a fence absolutely wetting ourselves laughing because we were so scared.

I dont think anyone was hurt but it was pretty scary!

[under the ivy]

how are you learning it, duolingo?
i've never liked german but now i'm forced to learn it bc my boyfriend is german i like it now though, i like the logic and putting words together

Yeah Duolingo, it’s quite easy to pick up. The pronouns are tricky though (for me anyway)!
